78: Buy, buy, buy

After completing the simple procedures, Cheng Zhen received the key to his single dormitory apartment.

The room wasn't too big, but it looked very clean. However, only a few people lived on this floor; most of the rooms were still empty.

"Most of the newly awakened students are still doing dungeons in their original schools, so this floor isn't very populated yet."

Men Hao briefly introduced, "Once their novice dungeons are over and they've all enrolled in various academies, this place will become lively."

"When you reach the top ranks of the leaderboard, you'll be able to get a detached villa in the staff living area. It's not that I can't pull some strings; it's mainly because I believe in your strength!"

Men Hao made a joke, then added, "Many of our school's big shots live there, so it's very safe. There are also security patrols near the dorms, so you can live here with peace of mind."

He then gave Cheng Zhen some warnings and went back to work.

Cheng Zhen thanked him and said goodbye, then put his luggage into the room.

He opened his wristband, and Men Hao had already granted him permission, so Cheng Zhen could now receive his enrollment subsidy from the school's resource department and use the online school trading mall.

Cheng Zhen browsed for a while and got a rough idea of the prices.

Aside from items with exceptionally good attribute effects, common-grade items ranged from a few thousand to tens of thousands, good-grade items were priced between 100,000 and 400,000, and rare-grade items ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions.

Equipment was more expensive than items; rare-grade equipment generally started at 3 million, and epic-grade equipment reached tens of millions.

Cheng Zhen earned 7 million by selling guides these past few days. He first maxed out all kinds of basic potions, bought wind-attribute items to feed the unsellable sandals, and then acquired a suitable rare-grade equipment.

With a 'beep,' several items appeared out of thin air on the table in front of Cheng Zhen.

【Item: Spirit Potion (Basic)】 X3

【Effect: Slightly increases spirit power (will no longer be effective after drinking three bottles)】

【Note: Remember to buy intermediate potions after finishing three bottles ~】

【Item: Constitution Potion (Basic)】 X3

...

Although Cheng Zhen had the money to buy intermediate potions, Men Hao told him to let his body adapt to the basic potions' boost first before using intermediate potions.

It's like a stomach accustomed to a vegetarian diet suddenly eating a feast of meat and fish; it definitely won't be able to digest it all at once. The same goes for a body absorbing potions; it's safer to let it slowly adapt to the absorption.

Wind-attribute items were available at all grades. Cheng Zhen bought several types of materials and fed them to the unsellable sandals.

Just like equipment enhancement in games, higher-grade materials give more experience. Worn-grade items only add 1% and 2% probability each time, while common items only enhance by about 4% to 6%.

Cheng Zhen picked a few cheap good-grade items to feed the sandals, finally pushing the evasion to its 35% cap.

The newly bought rare equipment was a pair of gloves that increased strength:

【Equipment: Porter's Durable Gloves】

【Quality: Rare】

【Wearing this equipment immediately increases Strength by 25%, Constitution by 20%, and grants the passive effect: Time to Move Bricks!】

【Time to Move Bricks: When moving objects, reduces strength requirements and stamina consumption. After triggering this effect multiple times, 'laziness counts' will accumulate. When 'laziness counts' reaches 10, a small amount of stamina and health will be restored.】

【Note: Wake up, it's time to get to work!】

The gloves had a recovery ability, which was quite good, but Cheng Zhen valued its compatibility with his skills more.

Every time he used his 'Ad Reality' ability, it consumed stamina based on his strength attribute and the target's weight, so he needed equipment that could boost his strength attribute.

Although he didn't know if the gloves' passive could be triggered when using skills, it didn't matter; he could always put the object aside and move it again.

Besides this, Cheng Zhen had previously helped Team Leader Men solve the Mountain Sacrifice Child guide, and they had rewarded Cheng Zhen with a rare item as promised—

【Item: Spirited Young Man's Badge of Honor】

【Quality: Rare】

【Effect: By striking a pose with one hand raised, extended, and resting on the forehead, while tensing the body, spirit power recovery can be accelerated.】

【Note: Spirited Young Man ~ is ~ here ~】

Cheng Zhen chose the item himself. Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was convenient for long-term use. This way, when he needed to use skills frequently, he wouldn't suffer from headaches or dizziness due to insufficient spirit power.

Equipment didn't need to be worn on the body; it could simply be placed in the panel like in an online game.

The best way to adapt to basic enhancement potions was exercise. For the next two days, Cheng Zhen went to the track to run laps and incidentally watched the sophomores' combat class.

That class could only be described with four words:

Martial · Virtue · Abundant · Energy!!!

Watching from the side, Cheng Zhen even started to doubt his choice.

Hopefully, when his class starts, the teacher will go easy on them...

Or, if he could somehow get a set of Iron Man armor from an advertisement, he wouldn't have to worry about insufficient firepower.

Two days passed, and two bottles of basic potion had been mostly digested. The third bottle could be used in the dungeon.

That day, Cheng Zhen habitually checked the forum in the morning and saw a new post from a certain account.

"Finally posted, took long enough!"

Cheng Zhen ate his breakfast, grunting at the light screen.

In fact, his guide sales should have been more than 7 million. However, under the continuous persuasion of the Jing Ci Guild, some people still chose to hold onto their money and wait for guides from major guilds.

Cheng Zhen had been holding his breath this whole time, determined to snipe the Jing Ci Guild when they released their guide.

But they were so slow that the guide only came out when Cheng Zhen was almost entering the dungeon.

Seeing the Jing Ci Guild's Mountain Sacrifice Child guide gradually rising, Cheng Zhen's fingers moved slightly, and the post he had delayed for days, making Zhou Xing eagerly wait, was finally sent out—

【Don't · Miss · It · Or · Regret · It! MVP Teaches You How to Speedrun "Tribal Conflict" With All Members Unharmed!】

The brand new purple title 【benevolent king】 shimmered brightly before his name.

Everyone was astonished.
